Error in compilation with Geolocator pluggin

Question

I'm getting the current error when compiling a project with Geolocator pluggin:

C:\src\flutter\.pub-cache\hosted\pub.dartlang.org\geolocator_android-2.0.0\android\src\main\java\com\baseflow\geolocator\location\LocationMapper.java:29: error: cannot find symbol
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.S) {
                                                    ^
  symbol:   variable S

                                        ^
  symbol:   method isMock()
  location: variable location of type Location
2 errors

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':geolocator_android:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Compilation failed; see the compiler error output for details.

I have already created another project to test if the error would occur, and when importing the package, the error occurs as well. I followed the gradle.properties configuration and set the compileSdkVersion to 30 and checked the Flutter Doctor too, everything is ok, but the error still persists. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I'm getting the same error too when add geolocator it worked 2 days ago!! and it works with old version of geolocator (6.2.1) — Mohammad Ali Jamali, Oct 10 '21 at 06:47

I had the same trouble with geolocator 7.7.0. Here
To fix it, I changed in build.gradle compileSdkVersion from 29 to 31. That works for me.

android {

    compileSdkVersion 31
    defaultConfig {
        minSdkVersion 21 
        targetSdkVersion 29
        ...
    }
...
}

After changing the compile version the error is gone, thanks! – Felipe Ribeiro Oct 19 '21 at 11:40
This will also work with compileSdkVersion : 32, and targetSdkVersion 32. – ViKi Vyas Feb 22 '22 at 08:46

Try to change the targetSdkVersion and the compileSdkVersion to 31.

Don't forget to check this:

app/src/build.gradle:

minSdkVersion 20

gradle.properties:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

I hope to help you!

In my case I changed the compileSdkVersion to 30.

android {
   compileSdkVersion 30
   defaultConfig {
     minSdkVersion 21
     targetSdkVersion 29
   }
 }

You should pin the geolocator to version 7.6.2 (without using the caret ^ character) like so:

geolocator: 7.6.2 If you don't Flutter will still upgrade the geolocator plugin to version 7.7.0. More information can be found here: https://dart.dev/tools/pub/dependencies#caret-syntax

Stuck for hours with the error. Finally came upon this answer. It really worked for me. android { compileSdkVersion 30 defaultConfig { minSdkVersion 21 targetSdkVersion 29 } } – J.Koriya Oct 23 '21 at 10:39
Perfect solution for me. Thanks man. – Umair Mar 18 '22 at 09:17

I had the same problem after upgrade flutter to 3.0.3.

I have updated the geolocator plugin to version 9.0.0 and the problem was solved.

Now everything is working fine.
